MJ141X Degree Project in Design and Product Development, First Cycle 15.0 credits

The course starts with a series of lectures to give the students background and knowledge in the field of Energy Technology. In beginning of the course the students also choose project to work with during the semester (the project proposals are supplied by the course instructors); and the project is supported by compulsory seminars throughout the course. Before each seminar the students need to hand in a written report and also prepare a oral presentation. The course leaders work as coaches supporting and giving feedback to the students: on their projects, their reports and their presentations. For the final seminar the students should also prepare an opposition on another group's work.

In each project/projectpart, the students work in groups of two persons.

After completion of the course the student should be able to:

• Formulate problems and apply methodology within the subjectarea of energy technology to search for and validate solutions
• Apply knowledge and skills that have been achieved during the studies on problems within the field of energy techonolgy.
• Plan his/her own work to achieve given partial objectives
• Analyse the need of scientific information, perform literature survey and validate the found information
• Present work in a written report with requirements on content, structure and language
• Utilise references, figures, tables and equations at an acceptable level in a report
• Write a summary in English with the correct use of the terminology within the subject area
• Perform oral presentation with requirements on timeframe and clear language, perforamance and illustrations
• Review and give comments on a technical work (opposition) and be able to meet corresponding viewpoints on his/her own work
• Make assumptions and assess their validity through sensitivity analysis
• Perform rought estimates to be able to validate models and assess their reasonableness

MJ1112 Applied Thermodynamics, 9 hp or corresponding knowledge

MJ1401 Heat transfer, 6 hp, or corresponding knowledge

Handouts and the students' own literature survey

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• XUPP - Examination Question, 15.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
